Tom Yost has almost finished a website dedicated to building your own
folder.

http://yostwerks.com/MainMenuhtml

He just emailed me to let me know I could tell people about his site and
that he has one duo that built his kids model, Sea Pup, in a paltry 36
hours.

Tom's site isn't commercial.  He's giving away all of the info including
offsets
and diagrams for several models (click next - top right of his pages - to
get to
the offset tables for each model.)
